On a plane flight, make sure to carry anything you will really need in a carry on. For a two week trip overseas, I don't see any reason not to carry the prescription bottles. If you have a large prescription bottle of something like cough medicine, your pharmacy can provide you extra bottles of the right size (like the 100 ml size) with duplicate prescription labels, so everything is legally marked, and you don't have to carry the large pint bottle on your trip. Don't leave your plane tickets and your passport in the seatback pocket. Keep them in your own pocket. Keep photocopies of important information in a different pocket or in that same carry on.
